Gate.io Doubles Down on Crypto Derivatives With New TON-USDT Options

Another day, another crypto derivative—because what’s a bull market without leveraged bets on leveraged bets?

Gate.io just rolled out TON-USDT options, adding to its growing arsenal of high-risk, high-reward instruments. The move signals the exchange’s push to corner the ‘sophisticated investor’ market—or at least those who think they are.

TON joins the derivatives party

The Open Network’s native token now gets the options treatment, letting traders gamble on its price swings with USDT settlements. No word yet on whether these contracts will actually be used for hedging—or just degenerate speculation.

Gate’s derivatives blitz continues

This isn’t the exchange’s first rodeo. Their derivatives menu keeps expanding faster than a DeFi protocol’s tokenomics page. Quality? Sure. But let’s be real—in crypto, ‘high-quality’ often means ‘won’t implode immediately.’

Options: Because spot trading is for cowards

With volatility creeping back into crypto, Gate’s timing is either impeccable or dangerously optimistic. Either way, they’re betting traders will embrace the complexity—and ignore the fact that most options expire worthless.

First Official TON Options Debut on one of the Leading Exchanges

The Open Network (TON) has rapidly emerged as one of the most prominent high-performance blockchains in recent years. Backed by Telegram’s massive user base, an active development community, and a scalable architecture, TON has attracted participation from developers and individuals across the crypto industry. 

As the TON ecosystem continues to expand, users’ demand for sophisticated financial instruments keeps increasing. The launch of TON-USDT options facilitates the expansion and development of TON assets in derivatives trading, and offers more possibilities in risk management, arbitrage trading strategies and applications in more scenarios.

The TON Foundation commented: “We are excited to work with Gate to expand the TON derivatives ecosystem. The launch of options trading brings a new financial dimension to the TON token and unlocks more opportunities for adoption and real-world utility.”

Enhancing Gate’s Options Ecosystem with Deeper Market Coverage

Gate currently offers options for a wide range of leading cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, ADA, and LTC, with continuous updates underway. The platform is committed to building a diverse and flexible crypto derivatives market. The addition of TON further strengthens its lineup of high-potential assets and offers users more diversified trading choices.

Gate stated, “The launch of TON-USDT options represents our commitment to supporting high-quality blockchain ecosystems. We remain focused on delivering more trading tools, deeper market liquidity, and a professional derivatives experience to users worldwide.”

Driving Derivatives Innovation and Enabling the Next Phase of Crypto Finance

As the demand for personalized trading strategies and risk management tools continues to grow, crypto options are quickly becoming a significant engine for market growth. It not only provides investors with more diversified trading strategies, including hedging, arbitrage, and volatility trading, it is accelerating the professionalization of liquidity, pricing mechanisms and overall market structure.

The introduction of TON-USDT options is aligned with this trend, offering a high-level trading experience and reinforcing the TON ecosystem’s expansion in the financial sector.

At Gate, product innovation and user value have always been top priorities. The launch of TON-USDT options is not only an active collaboration with the TON ecosystem, but also a milestone in Gate’s commitment to advancing professionalism and standards of crypto financial instruments. Looking ahead, Gate will continue working closely with top-tier blockchain projects to introduce more structured, high-quality derivative products, empowering global users and accelerating the maturity and diversity of the crypto market.
